The question before the citi-

mayor's chair for the hext two 
years? 

In the past few days a num- 
her of names have been floating 
on the breeze-- Washburn, Greer 
Kenny, May—but nothing defin- 
ite is known as.to their inten- 
tion to. become candidates 
And other names may have 
been mentioned. 

This year it becomes increas- 
ingly necessary that-the best. 
mayor and councillors be secur- 
ed in order that a wise and 
judicious policy be carried out, 
The. best men are needed for 
several reasons: ‘The personel 
of the. council will be. almost 
entirely. new, only H.-Smith 
and H,Cook remaining in office; 
the electric light question will 
need careful actention; the gas 
well problem, west of the town 
will in all probability, be dealt 
with more fully than at the 
present time. Other. towns 
along the line have had their} 
gas questions to deal with; we 
have ours: thé question of manu- 
facturing concerns coming into 
our town_may also form a prob- 
lem for the new council, already 
we believe manufacturers in the 
east are making inquiries about 
our town. We have some raw 
material, such as wool, flax etc. 
which are interesting eastern 
manufacturing concerns, These

‘Sirong Address In : 
_ Methodist Church : 


catalogue, If you} 


Facing the present crisis was 
the subject which Rev L. 8. 
Wight dealt: with in a convinc- 
ing manner in Methodist church 
on Monday night last. This 

dress was a splendid climax 
tothe anniversary services of 
that church. The'speaker traced 
the causes of the war, Brit- 
ains. efforts to mantain. peace, 
Germany's refusal to* respect 
the nutrality of Belgium;Prem- 
ier Asquith’s statement of Aug 
4th 1914) to which Germany 
gave no reply except by the 
forcible ‘violation of Belgium 
territory, when Britain accord- 
ingly declared war. 

Answering the question what 
are we fighting for, the speaker 
said it was to fulfil a solomn 
obligation and in protection of 
smaller nations; not for aggress- 
jon and not for selfish interests 
but in defence .of principles 
which are of the most vital 
importance to civilization. 

Reterring to the battle of the 
Marne, where the forces. of the 
enemy were much superior to 
thoge.of the-allies, where so far 
jas human eye could see there 
was nothing to hinder the 
Germans to sweep us Off the face 


would ate be a matter cok sine is 
and victory 1s ours, We have 
beaten Germany temporarily — 
we shall'beat her permanently— _ 
and the present crisis,—for we 
are at the most critical point 
of the war, is to secure enough | 
men to re-inforce the battle 
front.so that the sacrifices al- | 
ready made, may not be in vain, 

Mr Wright elosed his address 
by quoting Lincoln's famous 
war motto, giving us the hope 
of a just and a ‘lasting peace.

madé fio serious attempt to do the

women have so far contributed rather

Sugar’s History - : 


Has Béen Known and Used Since the 
: Beginning of Time 

The beginning of stgar’s history 
is lost in the mists of antiquity. 

It has been known since the dawn 
of history, but not in all countries, 
and the Chinese appear to have de- 
ighted their palates. with some soft 
of sugar for more than 3,000 years, 
It was known in India earlier than in 
Europé, being made from a_ juicy 
reed or cane. ' 

One of the generals of Alexander 
the Great is said to have carried su- 
gar to Greete in the year 325 B.C, 
as Sir Walter Raleigh, some 2,000 
ears later, * carried tobacco from 

irginia to Engladd. But even as 
late-as A. D, 150 sugar was still a 
rarity in Greece. . 

The famous physician, Galen, used 
it as a remedy for certain maladies, 

The invention of the first process 
for refining’ sugar is ascribed to the 
Arabs, and a Venetian merchant is 
to -have’ purchased ° the secret 
from thenr and introduced the pro- 
cess into Sicily. .. °- 

. The refining of sugar was first 
{practised in England about 1659,

Cutlery and Rust 

An alloy steel has been devised in 
England which is non-rustable. It is 
said that knives, forks and other cut- 
lery made of it will not even tarnish, 
and if turned..out by the factory 
bright and shining they will remain 
in that condition to the end, A little 
washing is all that is necessary to re- 
store it under any circumstances, 
| The new composition is not a high 
\carbon steel, as it only averages: one- 
fourth or one-third carbon, and the 
ingredient which imparts to it its 
‘peculiar properties is said to be 
|chromium, a chemical clement some- 
| what similat to. nickel, By mixin 
‘about 12. per, cent. chromium — wit 
!mild carbon stecl, the new stainless 
|campound is produced, defying acid 
fas well-as rust and tarnish. — 

This sort is mores expensive than

“IT am on senfry duty, and it is a

Overhead are the: English airmen

THE ONLY WAY TO 
CURE RHEUMATISM 


Must Be Treated Through the 
Blood and the Poisonous 
Acid Driven Out 


The twinges and tortures of. rheu- 
matism are. not due to cold, damp 
weather as so many people suppose. 
Rheumatism” comes” from poisonous 
acid in the blood. Thif is a miedical 
truth that every rheumatic | suffercr 
should realize; Their is ‘only one way 
to cure rheumatism—it must be treat- 


ed through the blood. All the lina-: 


ments and rubbing and so-called elec- 
trical treatment in the world will not 
cure rheumatism, and the suffcrer 
who tries them is not only wasting 
money, but is allowing the trouble to 
become more firmly rooted in the sys- 
tem and harder to cure when the pro- 
per remedy is tried. Dr. Williams 
Pink Pills: haye had remarkable suc- 
cess’ in curing rheumatism ' because 
they go right to the root of the trou- 
ble in the blood, driving out the pois- 
onous acid, releasing the  stiff2ned 
joints,. clearing .away tht torturing 
pains, and giving the victim renewed 
health and ease. Mr. Vincent Brow, 
Havre Boucher, N,S., says: “For two 
years I was an almost constant suf- 
ferer from rheumatism, the trouble 
being so bad at times that I could 
scarcely get about. The trouble 
seemed to bring with it anaemia, and 
altogether 1 was in a very bad condi- 
tion. I used doctor’s medicine for al 
most a year-without relief. Then o. 
the advice of a friend I decided to try 
Dr. Williams Pink Pills. 1 think J 
took altogether about a dozen boxes, 
with the result that I am again er- 
joying perfect health.” 

You can get these pills through any 
medicine dealer or by mail, post paid, 
at 50 cents a box or six boxes tor 
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medi- 
cine Co., Brockville, Ont. 


A Matter of Fact 

A visitor to a Sunday school was 
asked to address a few remarks to 
the children. He took the familiar 
theme of the children who mocked 
Elisha.on his journey to Bethel — 
how the young ones taunted the 
prophet, and how they were pun- 
ished when two she bears came out 
of the wood and ate forty-and-two 
of them. “And now, children,” said 
he, “what does this story show?” 
“Please, sir,” came from a fittle 
girl in the front row, “it shows how 
many children two she bears can

Italy Now Has Adequate Supply. of 
Munitions From Its Own 
Plants 


The enormous . progress that the 
manufacture of munitions in Italy is 
making was revealed for the first time 


Sf Premict Bosello.in a recent speech, 
otwithstanding her povérty™in iron 
and other raw materials and the high 
;Price of the transportation of coal, 
the premier said today Italy was able 
tp manufacture munitions not only 
for herself, but to supply her allies. 
“She h military establish- 
ments ofthe first class going and 800 
euxiliary factories, which. are worked 
by 425; hands, of whom 45,000 are 
women,” said the premier. “Italy is 
now making as‘many guns in a month 
as she made in a year formerly. Her 
machine-gun output has multiplied 
six hundred times and that of shells 
one hundred and ten times. Her aut- 
omobile output also has increased, 
while the aviation industry is making 
rapid strides.” ,

Marquis Wheat 


Is Worth More Than Experimentz] 
Farms’ Total Cost, Says Expert 


“The Marquis variety -of wheat is 
worth more to Canada than all the 
Canadian experimental farms have 
cost,” said L. H. Newman; secretary 
of the Canadian Seed Growers’ asso- 
ciation, upon. his’ return from an ex- 
tensive tour of the prairie provinces. 

“It is hard to compute its value. Al- 
though it was only first. distributed 
about five years ago, it is now the 
most popular wheat*in Western Can- 
ada, and probably seventy per cent, 
of.this year’s crop was the Marquis 
strain, I think I am safe in saying 
that if the, Red Fife wheat had been 
grown all over the country and Mar- 
quis had not been produced, we would 
this year have a crop of fifty million 
bushels less, which at prevailing pri- 
ces would have meant a loss to the 
country of from ffty..to’ seventy-five 
million dollars.” 

It should be added that it was Mar- 
quis wheat which won the $1,000 
prize at the New York Land Show in 
1911, for the best milling wheat grown 
anywhere in the two Americas, and 
which also worn the grand sweep- 
stakes prizes for hard wheat at the 
International Dry Farming Congress 
for three years in succession—1913, 
1914 and 1915, ,

The’ Old-Fashioned Hymns 


Old Hymns Sound Sweeter Than the 
Modern Compositions 


An old Tennessee darky got up in 
a mass meeting of negroes attending 
the national Baptist convention in 
Kansas City the other night, called 


the choir down for not singing,an old | 


time hymn like it ought to be sung, 
and then showed them how-to sing 
it. 

' “Dat ain’t de way my mammy ised 
to sing it down in de cotton fields,” 
he declared, interrupting the choris- 
ter, a modern musician. 

“Amen!” shouted the older mem- 
bers of the congregation, and then in 
a little while he had therm all singing 
the old hymn in a way that would 
take you plumb to glory. 

We didn’t hear the singing, of 
of course, but we’ve heard some mod- 
ern choirs, and also we remember 
jhow in the days of our forefathers 


and flour $1.25 a bag, | even white folks used to sing the. old 


hymns, So we can imagine how it alf 
ppened, Weare quite sure had we 
een there we should have added gur 
“Amen!” to those of the congrega- 
tion. - 
We wouldn’t say a word against 
modern choirs or modern hymns for 
the world. But we “can remember a 
time, before the day of salaried choirs 
and anthems and such, when folks 
used to sing like they had religion 
sure enough. They didn’t put the 
trills and quavers of the modern sin- 


».|gers in their singing, perhaps, and the 


hymns didn’t sound so much like a 
cross between an opera: and an old 
cotillon tine as the new-fangled 
hymns do. \But they sang like they 
meant it, and while we are . not-a 


musical highbrow and could not tell. 


-|the difference between a sonata’ and 


a symphony if we heard them, we 


will make bold to say that ‘those old: 
rose: 


hymns sounded sweeter as the

Sockeye Pack Was Much Less Than

cases, as compared with 477,000 ‘cases 
last year, revealing a condition that 
does not take the packers optimistic, 
It is said to be a bad year, and this -

‘ It. was an “off” year for sockeye on 
the Fraser River, but the falling off 
was greater than had been expected 
even for a slim year. One jacket 
contracted to sell 15,000 cases before 
the season began, but all he could 
3 up was 4, cases, and he was 

ard put to do even this. In general, 
contracts are being filled pro “ata, .

TERM OF OFFICE of the present: thayar G. H. Beaudry} 

is near a close, This year we will be called upon to elect| 

or and three Saaitilors. it isnot “too soon for the 

ns to be deciding in their own minds who ahould be nomin- 

8 for these offices on December 4th, Aa far as we can learn], 

ap tothe present, there has been no, great stir amongst the|f 

people in the matter. Indeed indifference seems to be n failing|| 

with the people of Wainwright. They allow matters of this 

‘kind to go in a haphazard way, No great or absorbing interest|E 

do the majority of people take in civie affairs, This perhaps is 

due to the fact that in the past we: have had wise administration 

~ on the part of our mayor, and councillors, [f these men had been 

“making extravugant expenditures or had been robbing the rate- 

_ payer. through maladministration, then perhaps there would be 
‘Bmore lively interest taken by all in civic government. 

We may and we must for the sake of our reputation continue 

the good government of the past, ‘and this can be accomplished» 

ily as each citizen or company of citizuns, will suggest and 

oi @ forth the best men for the different offices, The best is 

“none too good for Wainwright. 
* Tn searching fora mayor it may be well to.ask One or two 
‘question such as these:—Not “who will run” but who is best 


suited for the office? Ishea man who will carry well the 


hhonors of hie office wherever he goes? Is he a man of tried and 
‘proven ability? Is his motto, nat “ Honesty the best Policy,’ 

< but rather honesty forthe sake of honesty, in public affairs? 
In making our selection of candidates for the mayorality the 

foregoing questions should be' considered. We need aman 
whose business or residence is in town. and who is familiar with 
local condition; we need a level headed man who is not afraidof 
public opinion or criticism, who will sink all personal interests 
tor the sake of the honor of his office and who will do all in ‘his 
_power to make Wainwright the. centre. of interest for the 
‘eurrounding distsicts,

THEGREAT WAR”

f Nereis ARE AT: wak because thoy either never had or 


Ig and rightfeclings. There could} 
ions | ‘the Law of Fellowfeeling. If 
fk oh that, we would have a perfect guarantee against 
paid and bloodshed. Not, Culture or Kultur but Fellowfeel- 
- ing gives security against an outbreak of-war.. Nations most 
famous for their culture have been fighting nations. 
_.. Ancient Greece was famous for its literature and its art; the 
‘Roman Empire for its literature, its laws and its riches; Modern 
Germany ie noted for its science, its Philosophy, its music, and 
ite industrial attainments; und yet all these nations were, or 
are war-like. 

80 long as fellow-feeling does not ‘exist in the heart of 
-nations just so long will war continue to come, because wordly 

ambition, greed, jealousy and hatred will urge such nations to 
violence against their neighbours. And so it happens that 
nations that love peace—moast peaceably inclined nations—are 
forced to take up acms, and spend their lives and their treasure 
~to defeat the evil intentions, of hostile people. And that is the 
very reason that we, a peace- ‘loving people are at war today. 

War is a bad thing in the opinion of peaceable nations. 
- But we muet pay the price if we are to win peace, 

No price is too high in the interests of liberty and justice, 
righteousness and peace, home and religion, War for such 
causes is evidently 4 sacred duty and will have its reward. For 
out of what seems only evil, will ultimately come a good far 
‘greater than we can imagine. 

‘For a concreté case of thia we may refer to the late war in 
South Africa. In that devastated country a certain farmer found 
his home burned to the ground. Ploughing through the ruing 
his plough share touched a hard substance which turned- out. to 
bea bar of gold, and other bars of gold were found hidden, no” 
one knew by whom. The burning of his house ultimately led 
to his enrichment. The desolations of war brought him fortune 
for no one came to claim the treasure. And war today, which 
seems only evil to peaceable nations, may result in the 
enrichment of those nations, and indeed may purify and 
enable those nations that provoke war. As one great writer on 
the subject says. “The warisa rashing mighty wind that 
Somes toshake down those things which can bo shaken, that

marvellous in itself,” 


“It is almost impossible for

Cut Down Fatal Wounds 


Speed Up Ambulance Service From 
French Battlefields to Hospitals 
Dr. Alexis Carrell has announced 
an impending reform in the methods 
of surgery throughout France which 
is ‘likely to result in a yast diminu- 
|tion of amputation and fatal wounds. 
He said: —. g 
“Grafting of.the tissue of the bone 
and flesh hitherto has been next to 
impossible, owing to the difficulty of 
transporting the wounded from the 
| field to.the hospital. before gangrene 


‘}or infection have set in. 


“The American ambulance, ‘how- 
ever, has demonstrated the possibil- 
ity, with an efficient transport de- 
partment, of getting the wounded 
jenisice from the battlefield to the 
hospital within ten hours. Heretofore 
[the average time has been  twenty- 
four hours, which entailed much loss 
of life and many otherwise needless 
amputations. . : 

“The Krench Army Medical Service 
frankly . recognizes ‘the ‘splendid 
metheds of the American ( hospital, 
and has decided to speed up its trans- 
port everywhere and generalize ‘the 
use of Daken solution for the wash- 
ing. of suppurating wounds, thus ren- 
‘dering possible a vast campaign: of 
grafting: which will result in enor- 
mous’ progress in that branch of sur- 
gery.” :

the vast number of .men called’ ‘to

otherwise’ ‘be reckoned. among our 
asylum population, for the greatest 
reduction is among women, 119 being

Discussing these facts, Dr. Bernard 
Hollander, .pointed out three main 
\factors in the decline: The increased 
prospefity of the working classes; 
the effect of military discipline and 
hard work on men; andthe’ more 
purposeful lives of women. ; 

“It is the discipline of work | that 
leads to discipline ‘of mind, and thus 
prevents insanity.”

Taste and Manners’ 


} 


Good Taste Is Largely a Matter of 
o Experience 


What is the difference between 
| taste and manners? 

It may be bad manners to knock a 
man down; but it is not necessarily 
bad taste, t 

A rich man in Philadelphia gave a 
reception and issued irivitation cards 
jupon which weve engraved lus pic~ 
ture. This was not bad manners: it 
was certainly bad taste. 

A large, handsome woman once 
broke into a meeting of President 
Lincoln's cabinet, interrupting the 
proceedings. The. homely Lincoln 
{arose and, addressing her, said: 
| -“Madam, what do you wish?” 

She replied: 
“Tl came in here ‘to take a look at 


you, 

“Well, madam,” he replied, “in the 
imatter of looking, 1 have a distinct 
advantage of you,” 

That was both bad taste and bad 
manners on her part; on the part of 
Lincoln it was, good manners and 
good taste to refrain from throwing 
her out of the ‘window, as in sttct 
justice he should have doze, 

Good taste is largely a matter of 
experience, united to natural abili- 
ties, : 

To go up to your father-in-law at 
|your wedding breakfast with a bottle 
of champagne in your hand and, slap- 
{ping him on the back, “éalling hom 
“old sport” is not only bad taste and 


bad manners, but wretched sense, es-, 


pecially if the old gentleman is worth 
a million, 

To be told that your. friend is too 
busy to see you in his office and then 
to call him up over the nearest’ tele- 
phone, is not necessarily bad taste, 
but bad manners. The two may go 
together, but this is not an invariable 
rule.—Life.

‘Destruction of Militarism 


Further Military Suocesses Required 
to Break the Obstructive Will 
4 of Getmany .. 


‘We quote the final sentences of a 
‘document which, being prepared pri- 
-marily for mfluencing opinion in neu- 
tral countries, has not found publica- 
tion in our ordinary press, After a 
rehearsal of \the necessities which 
brought the Allies into conflict with 
the German claims, and which com- 
{pel us” to -contintie fighting until 

russian militarism is destroyed, the 
pmeatueics of this document, amongst 
whoni*we note consistent supporters 
of our cause, stich as Mr. ‘Archer, 
Professor Gilbert ~Mutray and Pro- 
fessor Hobhouse, give the following 
account of our national demand: 
“When our thinisters spoke of des- 
troying Prussian militarism, they 
meant the ending of a system which 
‘has compelled alt Europe to arm, and 
now to send all its sons ‘to di¢ in 
millions. That system can be ended 
as soon as Germany is ready to ac- 
cept what most. other nations have 
long desired, the settlement. of inter- 
national question by peaceful arbitra- 
;tion or co-operation in council, 
not by the open-or secret menace of 
the sword,” ‘ 

‘Here, it ‘seems tous, is the clear 
statement of the first condition of a 
settlement. It is fiot certain that any 
military victory, however decisive, 
can in itself bring the ending of the 
Prussian system, or can even compel 
‘the German. people to desire its end 
instead of desiring to. foster it tor 
some distant revenge. 
that: further . military successes’ for 
Ithe Allies will he required to break 
the old obstructive will of Germany. 
But there are signs that, with the 
gigantic loss of Jife she has sustained 
and with the certainty of further dis- 
jasters. staring “her in the - face, she 
is ripening for a repudiation of alll 
her conquests.” If Germany could 
jbe brought to such a definite repu- 
diation, and to a clear expression of 
'her willingness +o. enter such a Euro- 
!pean system as is proposed, a pre- 
liminary basis for negotiations would 
have been reached. e should then 
be some distance.from concrete terms 
of settlement.—The ‘Nation.

England and. France fighting shoul-

Napoléonism buried for’ ever, there 

$ been renewed. discussion ‘of a 
channel tunnel to ‘connect the two

the war has demonstrated’ the neces- 
sity for such a tunnel and refuted the 
argument against it, that it would be 
a source of military’ weakness to 
Great Britain. But has not the aero- 
plane made an under-sea tunnel as 
archaic as the horse car? For a 
fraction of; the cost of burrowing he- 
neath the English channel a fleet of 
airships could be maintained, afford- 
ing cheap and rapid transit. Mr. 
Frederick Palmer made the trip 
across from England to the firing line 
in France the other day in “a~good, 
steady ‘bus,’” and timed himself in 
crossing the, channel... It required 
just 17 minutes to negotiate the actual 
distance across the water, and not at

War Is Passing 


Greatest Triumph Ever Known Is 
. Coming 

We are coming to the greatest 
triumph that men on earth have ever 
known, and gur hands are. clean. 
There have been wars_of which we 
have long repented; they have been 
|stains on Our fame that we have long 
ago redeemed; but today let us sing, 
It is not on us that there lies the 
fearfu) burden of these things, All 
the neutral world knows that, and~all 
history will know it, too. This great 
dynastic war to bolster up a royal 
house, this troubling of the lives of a 
thousand imillion people for the glory 
of an ‘accursed ‘king, is not.our ‘sin! 
It belongs to oné man and his house, 
and it is finding fiim out. This ill- 
wind for Europe and the world ‘will 
| blow some good to. somcbody; it will 
sweep the Hohenzollerns from their 
\throne, and all their gods of steel and 
‘blood will perish with them; but for 
us and our children, and) our child- 
ren’s children, for our allies and for 
the allies of all pbs things and all 
good causes, it will bring those years 
of peace for which men long have 
dreamed. We are watching war pass 
from the world; thé thing the PA s- 
sian worship ed as his god, this foul 
thing that so well companioned him, 


wil anys away for ever, and peace

“It has been. clearly shown by this 
inquiry that underlying the praines 
of this province thére is an inexhaus- 
tible supply of water and in compar- 
atively few places only is it found so 
deep as to make the expense of pro- 
curing it beyond the means of the 
ordinary farmer, < 
“Regarding the quality of the wa- 
ter in the wells, while it is admitted 
that a varying degrce of alkalinity is 
found in some parts, being generally 
greater according to the depth of the 
well, scarcely a case is recorded of 
well water being unfit for domestic 
use, The water may be and indee 
often is hard, but it is always usable, 
“In some districts it seems possible 
to find water almost enywnere at no 
great depth; in othtrs the, best place 
to sink a well is a difficult matter to 
decide on. Many correspondents call 
it a matter of chance, and some be- 
lieve in the time honored methods of 
the “water witch,” but the majonty
